I also noticed that a separate domain (Router is on 172.16.0.x) and one of the two satelites is on 192.168.1.x.
That first IP address smells like some sort of local configuration issue.
It suggests that something has detected "a conflict with a WAN IP address".
What do you see when you aim a browser at the 172.16.0.x address?

You are in the wrong place for that. You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to General WiFi Routers (Non-Nighthawk). (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)
Many questions apply to different types of device, so there may be useful responses here. However the Orbi system uses some very different technologies from standard routers, especially with satellites, you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your device, in the appropriate section for your hardware. That's probably here:

I will ask the Netgear moderator to move your message.
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear stopped supplying printed manuals and CD versions some years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
